Interesting power generation projects from the crew of HackerSpace Adelaide

Paul, VK5FPAW, after a challenge from the Adelaide HackerSpace crew, has bee putting together a pedal power rig to power his HAM radio rig for the WIA WIA National Field Day on the October 23rd. Perhaps other HAM radio contents too, like the WIA Spring VHF-UHF Field Day is on November 20th & 21st. More events on the WIA Calendar.

Over at; http://picasaweb.google.com/pschulz01/PedalPower, Paul has a few photos of his pedal power rig. The stationary trainer is a nice way to mount everything. The alternator is a 50A Bosch. So far Paul has spent about $250.

I'm looking forward to hearing Paul, VK5FPAW/StationaryMobile on air on the field day ;)
